Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (preferably grass fed, organic)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of Kosher salt if desired

Instructions

  1. Combine the all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently with (clean) hands until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape into patties. Cover the burgers with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator if you will not be cooking them right away.
  2. When you're ready to cook the burgers, preheat your grill (or a skillet) to medium heat. Cook the burgers for a few minutes on each side, only flipping the burgers if they release gently from the grill (or pan). Use a meat thermometer to check that the burgers are done to the temperature you like. Typically, medium-well burgers should be cooked to about 155-160°F
